You dirty old dog womble, Bulgy! I've always meant to ask - are you lot officially classed as vermin and are we legally allowed to shoot you?

Haha, excellent - I might have known someone'd have done that, there's nothing you can think that ain't been thunk and all that.

Isn't everything balearic if you squint hard enough? I'll try for a top 5, but it might be a bit wonky as I've only been to Menorca: 5. German prog bloke - E2-E4/Sueno Latino 4. Either of those two Thrashing Doves tracks. Not the one Thatcher liked, though that rocks too. 3. Woodentops' Why Why Why 2. Beloved - Sun Rising (if allowed) or Sweet Harmony/the other ones (if not) 1. Russ Abbott/Joy Division - Atmosphere Sadly, it does all remind me of Camden Market on a weekend.

It's Michael Barratt. He was great on Nationwide back in the day, 92 years young now.

It'd be somehow fitting (waah waah) if he developed Essential Tremor, Parkinson's or MS,. But I hope he doesn't, he seems like a nice chap.

Couldn’t find the Rel Ret thread and besides, this fits with the first para of the OP’s post. Macron considers it to bear the hallmarks of an “Islamist terrorist attack” - unless that’s a misquote or mistranslation.

Apologies if I've missed it in some other thread, but are we not mentioning the assassination of teacher Samuel Paty for fear of getting our collective heads lopped off?

For everyone mystified at what American footballers are on about, and their real names, here are some handy tips...

Unless you were related to him or he lived in your spare room, no-one's even heard of him (until this week) let alone known he was ill enough to be on a deadpool team. Anyway, it's a serious blow to the 'Paul Matters Lives' campaign.

I agree completely, though I'm not having a go at the previous poster. The last thing you want, or are likely, to do when your mind is scrambled enough to be seriously considering suicide is call some well-meaning person who's going to, at best, spout platitudes that are unlikely to be relevant to how you're thinking at that moment - even if they've been through it themselves. It's even hard to contact friends during that mindset, however sensible you know ultimately is. I'm not going to try and give solutions or answers, because I don't have any.

Goodness gracious me!

It's a pretty pass when you elicit howls of twitterrage for the perfectly reasonable response of 'meh' when asked about the merits of EVH. I'd have been less charitable* than Dave, who would probably (and hopefully) enjoy both VH's and his own threads. * The best I could manage would be something along the lines of "he could sure fit a lot of notes into a short period of time". But after all, as Plastic Paddy sagely pointed out, I am a moron with a tin ear.

Do you leave a double space to disassociate yourself from iain as much as decently possible, or to create a harmonic balance in the DL word-division universe?

This place just won't be the same without the lack of those endearing little whitespace glyphs between sentences.Hmmm, can you actually say "without the lack of"?Yes I suppose you can.Anyway, this is for old times sake.

Judging by the general standard of literacy these days, I wouldn't be so sure.
